Sol Leonina Pais (February 1, 2001 – April 15, 2019) was an American student who received national recognition after she became the suspect of a large FBI manhunt in 2019. Pais had flown from Miami to Colorado and purchased a shotgun from a private dealer. After her parents informed authorities that she was missing, she was traced to Colorado. Police recognized Pais as Armed and Dangerous, a BOLO alert was put out, and a large manhunt ensued.

Pais was said to be obsessed with the Columbine high school massacre, and perpetrators Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. After Pais was reported missing, police discovered her obsession with the massacre. With the 20th anniversary of the massacre about a week away, and Pais purchasing a shotgun in Colorado, police came to believe she was planning a second massacre around April 20. On April 15, she committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, before the manhunt began. Her body was found on April 17.
